Jessica Lange already won Best Actress for the first season of American Horror, lost last year for the second season ~ so, her chances are slim for this year's win.

Who do you think is more likely for a win in 'Behind the Candelabra'? Matt Damon or Michael Douglas?

I don't know why they don't create a new category for best horror/syfy? With all these new alien/horror shows coming on, it is hard to call them dramas. Perhaps, they are afraid 'True Blood' would win, and of course we cannot have that, even though it is one of the best horror shows on tv.

Lena Dunham is not a good actress as mentioned often here. Very often. If she wins over Poehler, Dern, Louis-Dreyfus, Fey or Falco (i.e anyone) then that will be the biggest laugh she has ever been responsible for in her career.

The New Girl cast deserved at one least one nomination (Jake Johnson) and probably 3 (Jake, Deschanel and Max Greenfield). They are all very funny on that show. Much funnier than Dunham, LeBlanc, Adam Driver etc who are in their categories.

Eric Stonestreet being snubbed is a bit surprising. Hope Ty Burrell wins again as he and Ed O Neill seem by far the classiest member of that cast.

The FX version of the Bridge has had roughly the same storyline (though they've only aired the second episode this week), but since it's set on the border of US-Mexico, there are obviously a few necessary differences. Different issues, different politics.

I still watch Modern Family and like it, but I don't want it to win a thing. John Hamm does deserve an Emmy--Don Draper is an iconic TV character.

The Emmy voters really are lazy and that goes for the Daytime Emmy voters too - they let the Cash Cab guy win best game show host award three times already and that show is cancelled and totally out of production. Not fair.

Meanwhile, it's complete bullshit that Corey Stoll was passed over for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama (House of Cards).

I really wish they'd give supporting actress in comedy to Jane Krakowski. It's her last year, and she's done so much amazing work as Jenna over the years. Unfortunately, I'm betting it's Sofia Vegara's turn.

Kaley Cuoco is a better actress than she's given credit for. Maybe she should lay off the numerous endorsement deals (she's giving the cast of Modern Family a run for their ad money). It also doesn't help that she's compared/confused with Sarah Chalk, another commercially appealing, fast-talking hot blonde, but a weaker, more contrived actress with a comic timing and reaction face so calculated, it makes me wish Hepburn were alive to click-click her.

I'm with the poster who still watches Modern Family, but doesn't think it should get any more awards(it should be the year of BBT or Louie) - though I'd make an exception for Ed O'Neill. He was very good this season, has never won an Emmy, and deserves one.

Is it possible that Eric Stonestreet abstained from submitting, or did he just get snubbed? I'm not saying he deserved to be nominated, but it seems to me he was reaching Larroquette/Fox territory with the lazy automatic nominations.

Agree with R131; I would even have liked to have seen Bruno Mars nominated. May sound weird; he was a bit tentative, but very funny, good comic timing; could totally see him doing feature films (if isn't already?)

Wow, there are a lot of people on this thread with some serious lack of reading comprehension skills.

Although I did notice that the OP does not have Mandy Patinkin in the Best Supporting in a Drama category, but he was indeed nominated. As much as loved Jonathan Banks in BB, I feel like Patinkin really deserves some Emmy love. Say what you will about Homeland's second season, but Mandy was really exceptional throughout.

[quote]I hope Claire Danes doesn't win again, they always seem to give the award to the same people every year and that's just lazy.

She's only won the Emmy once for her role as Carrie Mathison. But hers and Lewis' work in the episode, 'Q&A' was really astonishing, so I wouldn't be put out if she took it again. Her only real competition is Robin Wright, who I thought was the best thing about HOC. Vera Farmiga should have gotten her nomination for Lead Actress in a COMEDY, because seriously, I don't think she realized she was meant to be in a drama. That performance was campier than Lange singing 'The Name Game', at any rate.

r195, I was using the word "featured" to mean either leading or supporting, not the way the Tonys use it to mean "supporting." But maybe I should have used the phrase "series regular" (to mean any nominable role that's not a guest spot). It's just that there are regulars who are bit players and not featured enough to be eligible/noticeable for nomination (Gunther in "Friends")

Since "30 Rock" has more nominations than "Modern Family," I think it might even win Comedy Series. It's perfect Emmy logic: we're sick of awarding the same show every year, so let's give it to the show we used to give it to every year.

Nominating that gormless ultra-annoying piece of shit in the same category with actual actresses, women who have already paid their dues and have acted for many years, is a fucking insult to those actresses!

I think Tina Fey is more of a writer than an actress, I never bought her 'acting' either. She's another person whose career has been based more on hype than true talent, at least as far as her acting goes.
